2. Using the ZLT-NT-copilot it is possible to hitch a ride with any ZLT-NT on MP. However, unless you are the pilot "approved" copilot you will only be an observer (and will not, if there is no approved copilot, receive the full aircraft state from the pilot). | 2.

* The mooring force calculations are sensitive to long frame times (i.e. very low fps), which can cause FlightGear to crash during startup or make the airship start in a bad state. | |||
<b>Workaround</b>: Set /sim/max-simtime-per-frame to 0.1 seconds or less. This can be done in preferences.xml by modifying the line | |||
<max-simtime-per-frame>1.0</max-simtime-per-frame> | |||
to | |||
<max-simtime-per-frame>0.1</max-simtime-per-frame> | |||
* Unfortunately the pressure alarm will sound at startup since the envelope isn't initialized in a pressurized state. The ballonet inflation levers are preset to maximum inflation so the operating pressure is usually reached within 60 seconds. | |||
* With the current FlightGear/CVS the radio displays are broken for the copilot, although the frequency settings are shared correctly. | |||
* Obsolete copies of <tt>mp_broadcast.nas</tt> (e.g. from the WildFire or Air racing add-ons) in $FG_ROOT/Nasal or ~/.fgfs/Nasal are likely to cause problems. Currently the up to date version resides in <tt>Aircraft/Submarine_Scout/Models/mp_broadcast.nas</tt>. Remove the others (or if replace them with the up to date version if you want to keep Air racing functional). | |||
